Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

Keysight Technologies Inc. is a technology company, not a financial institution. The 'Fair Money & Economic Opportunity' value primarily assesses financial institutions on their lending, insurance, and money management practices. As such, most KPIs, including those related to customer financial services, APRs, fee structures, loan books, financial literacy, debt burden, geographic inclusion, and product simplicity, are not applicable to Keysight's core business model and therefore score 0 as per the rubric's definitions. While Keysight has a Supplier Diversity program supporting small diverse businesses

and engages in STEM education to promote economic opportunities , these initiatives do not provide specific, quantifiable data points that align with the financial services-centric metrics of the 'inclusion_initiatives' or 'profit_reinvestment' KPIs, leading to the omission of the latter.

While Keysight maintains beehives and uses goats and sheep for grazing on its campuses , the articles do not provide specific data on humane certifications for these operations, measurable biodiversity impact from conservation initiatives, or detailed ethical practices for the grazing animals. Supplier audits mentioned are not explicitly for animal welfare compliance.
